Steven Hayden

Recovering money that is owed to you can be tedious and time consuming, involvement of a specialist can often lead to a swift resolution but if not, Steven can advise, assist and act for you in moving matters forward. 

My approach

I am here to guide, assist and help you through it.  I engage with everyone I represent in the same way, direct, upfront and honest.  I am friendly and approachable, offering a free 30-minute initial telephone consultation.  

I pride myself on my attention to detail and high client care, which allows me to grasp cases quickly and empathise with those I work so hard to represent.  

 

About me

I completed my training (known as pupillage) back in 2010 when I practiced exclusively in crime.  After a few years my practice expanded into civil disputes where I advise and act for clients by drafting documents and representing them in court. 

What my clients say

Steven and I have worked together for many years and he is our main Counsel for all our PI work.  He is dependable and we trust him to get the job done
